Sorry for bailing on this game. I got super swamped right when it started. I had asked for a sub but then the mafia team killed me anyway. Thanks guys.
I have a question, is the self-voting rule specifically a rule that you don't want people to break, or merely a mechanic that we can use as we wish?
The reason I ask. I am considering a strategy where I choose to self-vote in a Final-5 scenario, or encourage another player to do so. That person will survive until Final-3 due to being unkillable, and also be unchoppable on that final day. In that situation, the game becomes a 1v1 between the other two players, with that final immune player being the kingmaker. If that kingmaker is mafia, I believe that town would automatically win. If that kingmaker is town, they are the person who decides if their team wins or not based on their vote.
It's a strategy I'm interested in proposing, but I don't want to if it's against the spirit of the game, which is why I want to check in. I know it says that self-voting is prohibited, but this strategy takes advantage of the punishment dolled out for anyone who does break that rule.
